I have never been blocked by Cloudflare on my phone. Ever. Yet I cannot visit this site, Cloudflare blockes me. Whatever is up, you should fix it.

That's not precisely true, depending upon the definition of 'competent'. I've seen 'competent' backup solutions which had backup rotations that expired older content. And I've read post-incident responses

I didn't notice it being brought up a lot, but also, it wasn't a complaint. It's a joke. Most specifically, taking what is supposed to be cheap compute, and adding something made super expensive is just funny.

by b112 3mo ago
Yeah. I agree. The older Pis did have their limitations, to be sure. But you're hit the nail on the head, a modern but still cheap Pi is very doable. Fixed design flaws, lower RAM still, lower power too!, and just.. cheap compute.

Read the scope I discussed. Physical records can be made exceptionally secure. They can be secure on location (archival location, with guards). They also aren't reachable by every human being on the planet who wants to infiltrate. T

Technology can make lives safer. However, software is never secure, cannot be made secure, this is empirically proven to be a 100% valid position. In as software is not secure, and can not be made secure, using it for important records sto

All those examples are not different from not having backups of digital data too. Making copies when you microfiche, having duplicate stores, it's all exceptionally easy and a solved problem. And of course everything didn't work

The sad part is, the whole world worked perfectly fine without anything online, ever, prior to 20 years ago. Even 10 years ago for slow-moving change. It's literally not a requirement to have it all online. And the cost of developers

This is the first time I've every brought this up, ever.

Really would just prefer a working, non-buggy, Pi2 maybe without all the crazy extra power + compute + RAM. Or at least have the option, because $20 is more my style for a lot of these tasks, not $150CDN.

Ho-ho my friend! You want to buy storage for your computer before 2030? I'm so sorry, but you now pay big time, now you sell your car for one nvme drive. Somebody set up us the bomb.

Who is 'he'? Did you use an LLM for translation, and it used he instead of I?

$25 is too low. $25 feels like "no one will go after the guy if the money just disappears".

The "rest of the world" doesn't use left/right the way the US does. The lines between the US's two parties are gibberish and make no sense to us, comparatively. EG, the stances taken by both your parties aren'

I'm not sure what you mean. Temu has nothing to do with this. * people buy something on Amazon, return it due to defect or just don't like it * product is currently sold in lots via auction by Amazon via bids, wholesale (not on a

What typically happens is that people buy up these clothes in massive auction/lots, then just sell them on Amazon. As Amazon joins all listings together, 100 sellers of the same item all have the same reviews/etc. So some slightl

You know, there's a lot of really good data on Stack Overflow, regardless of all the issues. I hope somebody saves it all.

This is right up there with amazon changing imdb.com, so that you need to actually be logged in to read any of the reviews on a movie. I see that and I instantly go to rotten tomatoes, pure idiocy, pure stupid. You can just tell when those

If you're not going to call California 'left wing', I wonder how many states in the US you'd call left wing? It seems fairly left wing to me, having visited a lot. EG, spending 4+ months there a year, for several years

Yes, it can be disconcerting to consider such. In anyone's singular control. And that number of robots is indeed sort of the plan. This is a loooong podcast, but was just great from start to end. Multiples of the neurolink team were

I've dealt with Android phones for which there was zero way to disable the highest alert, adb regardless. Unless you have root, it's often not possible. Yes, GrapheneOS of course allows this. Edit: re followup comment. No, adb ca

This is just dumb. I'm sorry, it's dumb. Why? Here we're discussing a domestic abuse situation, where people are forcing victims to hand over their phone, and have apps installed to keep track of them. Against their will.

You cannot on many phones, and often phones will even lie when it says all categories are disabled, as some jurisdictions have laws against turning off some of the highest alert categories.

I will agree that chat apps and feeds on facebook are a large swath of info. I just don't think it compares to gmail, and of course all the other data I've mentioned. The power of Android and even push notifications, from a data

If you gave me this description in isolation, I would assume you were talking about Meta, who are not on your shortlist despite also having AI models. You've mistaken me for the guy you originally replied to. It happens, no worries,

These days, browsers absurdly try things like adding www. if you don't have it, and there's no open port. Same for http -> https. This is doubly an issue, as browsers think hiding the http and www is super cool. So in modern t
